Hi Rhyswynne - Yep good point. I've changed the Twthill article to refer to the castle as Norman. --Cynnydd 07:40, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] History of Plaid Cymru
Hello Rhyswynne! I will order Rhag Pob Brad: Cofiant Gwynfor Evans from Barnes & Noble but can not yet speak or read Welsh (though I am attempting to learn it). I was pleased to find that Dr. John Davies did read the book himself and wrote "Mae'r gyfrol hon yn garreg filltir bwysig yn hanesyddiaeth Cymru. Ceir yma ddadansoddiad manwl o yrfa gwladgarwr Cymreig pwysicaf yr 20fed ganrif, a chronicl hefyd o hanes y genedl dros drigain mlynedd a mwy. Camp neilltuol iawn . . ."
I look forward to your imput to the pages! For your questions:
Firstly, I don't deny that Saunders Lewis may have praised Hitler in the mid 30's, but so did Lloyd George (in 1936) and Winston Churchill praised Musollini [sp] in late 20's. This doesn't mean SL is not a fascist, but he could just be a man of his time more than anything else. We're not told who the other leading members are supposed to be.
I agree with you. I think NM is purposefully over emphasizing the characterization. But I need the quote from Lloyd George and Churchill though to refute it. Appearently he did get the information from Mr. Morgan. I will try and correct this, but will need others to suport this action as well, as NM has a history of page hawking and preventing others from making sourced changes and edits.
Secondly, and more importantly from a Wikipedia point of view, the "metaciously researched" quote of the "highly respected" Dr Morgan is pure speculation. Poor showing in early elections could be down to a number of factors, namely lack of funds and bad/no coverage from media.
Very true indeed. I do not know Dr. Morgan's work as well as I know Dr. Davies, so can not comment to his authority. But he is published and a valid source, though through NM's introduction to him it seems Dr. Morgan has an agenda.
Also, I'm reading a book about Gwynfor Evans at the moment, and SL plays a big part in the first part of the book. In it the author mentions how Plaid's opposition made a lot of the fact that SL was a Catholic as opposed to a fascist. Apparently the Welsh (and British?) population was quite anti-Catholic at the time. Possibly something to do with events in Ireland at the time?
Yes, the appearent anti-Catholic sensabilities of the Welsh was one of the reasons Lewis resigned as party leader in '39, according to Dr. Davies. However, just a few years before the party rejected one of his chief principles as not a fundemental part of the party. I do not get the sense that Lewis was faciest though in any of the material I have thus read. However, I do get the sense he tollerated hard line regimes to a degree though. Yes, there was a sense of suspicion on the part of U.K. authorities and the population regarding Irish nationalism, and by extension Welsh nationalism.
Are you proposing to insert a link to this page in place of certain sections of the main PC article?
yes, this is the intention. However, I would go further and completly redo the PC page to include more information on party structure and what it stands for, as opposed to history. History on the main page in my opinion should be very brief in light of having a new page for it.
a) although I can't fault them, the way you've split the different periods seem a bit random - in a way I prefer Normalmouth's splitting into decades. I split the periods according to party leadership, though named them differently. Within each section there is a subsection of the most important events during that time frame. Personally, I prefer this approach to NM's use of the decades... which to me seem boring. Prehaps though I can list the decades on the section titles? b) not sure about the way party leaders is presented (in a visual/wikipedia sense that is) This I copied from the other British party pages and from the US party presidential candidate pages. I thought it very neat myself. But because of how large the page has gotten, I am thinking on moving these to another page altogether. c) how do you decide the ideology of each person? I used Dr. Davies actually, and Mr Wiggly himself. Mr. Wiggle described his political views as "right wing," Dr. Davies described Lord Elis-Thomas as leftist. Givin the recent changes in PC, Jones is descibed as centrist. The early party leaders (Valentine and Lewis) were clearly right of center (I think Davies points to this too, but need to find the page). Evans was the most difficult to characterize though and I remain uncertin for him.
1) Although the Tynged yr Iaith radio talk and Cymdeithas yr Iaith's formation was beneficial to PC as it allowed them to concentrate on politics as you say, it wasnt SL intention for a seperate organisation to be set up. He intended PC to become more involved in welsh languagae campaigning. Yes, I see I have not clearly pointed that out. You are absoltely correct and it should be pointed out he wasnt looking for a new organization but wished for PC to direct this.
2) I've already forgotten the dates and the name, but PC set up a private radio station in the 50's, maninly as they were denied a party political broadcast on state radio. At the time there was a ruling that a party must contest all seats (i.e all UK seats) before they were granted a broadcast. As PC only contested Welsh seats, this was an obvious disadvantage. This would be GREAT to add!
I look forward to your contrabutions indeed!! Drachenfyre 07:59, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] History of Plaid Cymru update
Rhyswynne, Hello! Might you check out the updatged History of Plaid Cymru and offer your opinion thus far? Since mine and Normalmounth's debate have I received any impute on its construction. I know it needs more fleshing out, particularly in the Wigley and Elis presidencies section (almost all of that was taken from a sumerized version on the origional Plaid page.)Drachenfyre 10:11, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
I've not had a thorough read, but I don't see anything I'd disagree with (aging, I'm no expert on the subject). You've obviosly put a lot of work into it (and I can see NM mark there as well!) In 'Bards under the bed' bit, the references 49 and 50 only give a link to the current South Wales Police home page - should this not give at least a title of a report/book reference even if no on-line link is available?--Rhyswynne 11:28, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Anon user
I've stuck a final warning on his/her page and will feel justified in blocking him/her/them if they re-offend - but of course it can only be temporary. Hopefully they will think twice. To be honest, I've tried to avoid getting too heavily involved with the Welsh Wikipedians' noticeboard - Rhion gave up and went over to wicipedia because it was getting too much, and I know I could easily end up the same way. But of course you don't have to look for a Welsh admin just because it's the Cardiff article. Deb 17:45, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] John ac Alun
Bore da, Rhyswynne. I declined your request for page protection for this article, as the vandalism was pretty slow speed. However, I've deleted the recent drug allegations from the history and the page is on my watchlist now. Give me a shout if things get out of hand.

[edit] Requests for Mediation
Hello Rhyswynne!!!!

Greetings Wales community! We need your Voice! We need mediation and impute from the wider community who regularily contribute to articals of Wales interest. At issue is the use of a distinctive border around the country info box, as well title bar. The issue seems to have become a crusade against Wales by certin editors, who have almost never contributed to and practically never visit (by their own admission) the Wales page. I do not tust the motives of the editor, whome seems to be stalking my edits and reverting them purposefully. This editor even dismisses the colors of Wales red and green saying that Wales does not have any official colors! (quote: "I imagine that this use of "national colours" (of which Wales has none by custom or tradition)...", Unfortunatly, I must deal with these cyber bullying tactics if I am to contribute here. However, I implore the Wales commmunity to weigh in on the topic of allowing info box borders and title headers. Please submit views on Template talk:Infobox Country and talk:Wales. If the wider Wales community decides not to support a border and title header color in the colors of Wales then I will withdrawal from this position. However, I and other editors do feel it makes the Wales page far more distinctive. Sincerly, David Llewellyn♦Drachenfyre♦·Talk 02:22, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Wales phone codes redirect
Just noticed this. I've left a comment on the talk page. You have my full support for undoing the redirect and I'm sure wikiproject Wales would be behind you as well. Enaidmawr (talk) 22:37, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
- Hi again, I don't know if the list of Wales dialling codes is on your watch list, but in case it isn't I thought maybe you'd be interested to know it has been moved to List of UK dialling codes covering Wales (I kid you not!). Enaidmawr (talk) 22:45, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Wicipedia Cymraeg
I've expanded the Welsh Wikipedia article that some people seem in such a hurry to delete. Wonder if you have any idea which copy of Golwg you saw the article in? If you have a reference or even a quote (mewn cyfieithiad, wrth gwrs...) could you add it please? Or anything else? Diolch, Enaidmawr (talk) 23:30, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
